Camp 1
Dark Sky Camp 1 is located an easy 90 minute drive from the Brisbane CBD, and provides plenty of flat camping areas at a cost of $15 per person per night. SEQAS coordinates to pre-arrange dark sky weekends once a month during winter and will advise club members when they have been organised. (Check the events calendar for this year’s dates.) The skies are quite dark and there is virtually 360 degree viewing. Only camping in tents, caravan etc is possible, there is no dormitory accommodation, so you must bring everything you need for sleeping, cooking etc. There are toilets and tank water; SEQAS will normally arrange for access to power for the weekend so that members can charge batteries. There are no shower facilities; you are welcome to bring your own shower tent.
There is a dedicated area set aside for SEQAS members to enjoy camping and caravanning while attending. |
CAMPING & ASTRONOMY FIELD
SEQAS provides members with plenty of space to camp and setup your equipment. The camping and astronomy area is nice and flat and provides 360° views of the night sky. All external lights are kept off, providing a dark viewing environment.
